    As an Asian I find it impossible to make a character that looks like me. Otherwise I'd try that.

    most of the above

    each of my characters (except the 1st one i made) have a theme usually inspired by a name (this as as far as my RP goes)
    so i make the character look 'apropriate'

    so my mag DK Drusilla The Bloody is supposed to look like a 'buffy' vamp (i h8 that i have had to temporarily cure her for vMA)

    my Tank Fregna Vi leico bacrut is an excessivly muscular tough nord (name is ancient Nordic)

    etc etc!

    I make my characters as attractive as I can, but I still make them look natrual (or as natrual as possible, considering I mainly play as khajiit)

    Sexy
    Almost all of my male characters are sexy or at least very attractive (slim or muscular, young).

    The only exception is my orc character, Tuk gro-Calugar, who is a large, heavy person with a tonsure, a beard and a constant smile on his friendly face.

    Depends OP

    I like to make good looking characters, but I also like to make badass characters.

    So what I did was made my main Imperial look exactly like me.

    I made Altmer, Dunmer, Khajiit, Redguards, an Argonian and a Nord ect. look as best they could to fit with the "image" I envisioned for them.

    In the years of playing games, I created my own archetype of a character. I'll always try to dance on the line of slightly angry, impassive look. But maybe that's to do with me generally ending up playing the heartless *** in RPG's... :D

    Depends on the concept, but kind of everything above.

    I am a roleplayer so I generally go into character creation with a theme or an idea of who that character is and what they're going to act like.

    Badass is my go to, but I like pretty and sexy as well. I used to make them look like me in games once, as of ESO I've only got one character that looks somewhat like me. But that was more an accident.

    To look like you
    I usually make my character look like how I initially seem to think I look like now, only to find out soon afterward that I instead made him look like a slightly more heroic version of me from about 20 years ago. :(

    Depends on what my vision/idea for the character is.

    I will say I don't do the ungodly anorexic types I occasionally see. Just scary, some of them.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    Other because its a combo. I try to make it look like me if I were an elf or nord yet I like to add also what someone who fights all the time would look with a little badass aspect that would scare children if I walked around like that, yet still dead sexy.

    Pretty
    I trend toward attractive and pretty, but usually not bang out beautiful. Though it depends on the character concept, on how I'm feeling, and how the character starts leaning as I'm putting them together in the creator. Sometimes, they just go in a completely new direction. :|

    @Lavennin

    Have you tried a Breton yet? I was messing around with the face gen and ended up making her look more Asian than Breton by playing with the eye sliders. Not exactly sure what I did, but I like the way she turned out. If your interested, send me a PM and I will provide a screen of her and the sliders.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
